The Rock has said he was going to run for President of the United States. He even went as far as making it a plot point in his BioCom, Young Rock, on NBC.
That was then. Is he still considering being a candidate? DJ tells CBS Sunday Morning’s Tracy Smith that “It’s off the table. Yes. It is off the table. I will say this ‘cause it requires a B-side to this.
“I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy. And that’s the most important thing to me is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters’ lives. Because I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years in my first daughter’s…Growing up in this critical age at this critical time in their life.”
As much as I love and respect that he is putting being a daddy first. I was going to vote for him, and I was looking forward to saying President The Rock because I think he would be great at the job. And it is all about me and my need to see my college alum get elected as the Head of State.
Were you going to vote for him too?
You can watch the rest of the interview on Sunday morning.
The Rock has a new movie coming out on Friday. So, he wanted to surprise some of the fans who were attending an early screening of DC’s Superpets. Therefore, he put on his Krypto costume.
There was just one little problem. The costume made DJ even taller than he is. So, he didn’t see the light fixture before he bumped into it and gave himself whiplash!
Was DJ upset that that gaffe was caught on camera? Nope, he was happy that he could share that embarrassing moment with all of us.
And that is why I will always be a fan. If you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

If you are a TikTok addict, like I am, then you are familiar with the Tortilla Challenge. If you are not, then you have no idea what I am talking about. But that is about to change thanks to father and son, The Rock and Kevin Hart.
So what is the challenge? Basically, all you need is a tortilla and water for everyone playing. Next, everyone gets a tortilla and drinks but doesn’t swallow (pretend it is the guy you don’t like) some water. Now, you play Rock, Paper, Scissors, and the loser gets slapped in the face with the flatbread. Wait, there is more. The object of the game is to be the last person to spit out all of the water in their mouth. Sound easy? It isn’t because try keeping your mouth closed as you are laughing hysterically. That is what makes the game so much fun to watch.
How did the two actors of DC’s Super Pets do? DJ slapped his little buddy so hard that The James Webb Space Telescope was able to take a photo of him as he flew by.
There have been rumors that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences asked The Rock and Chris Rock to host this year’s Emmys. How Rockin’ would that be?
So far, there has been radio silence from both actors. But then, Chris Rock’s people told Entertainment Tonight, “He’s in the middle of his tour and is preparing for the taping of his comedy special, which will be taping this fall.”
Now that ET knows the comedian’s answer, what about DJ? “It was just schedule. I was really, truly honored when they came to me and asked, but it was just a scheduling thing,” he told ET. “That’s all. That’s really what it comes down to.”
The Emmys air on September 12th on NBC. So I betcha they are going to ask someone from Saturday Night Live to do it. I just hope and pray it is not Pete Davidson. It is going to be Pete Davidson. And now I am mad at the Rocks for making us suffer through that.
If ever there was a celeb that could take on the sharks for Shark Week, it is The Rock. Therefore, it makes sense that Discovery Channel asked him to be their first ever Master of Ceremonies.
“I’m honored to be your first-ever Shark Week Master of Ceremonies. Our Seven Bucks Productions has partnered with Discovery to bring you a very special (and bad ass) Shark Week. I filmed exclusively in my home state of Hawaii, these beautiful predators, Aumakua (Gods), are deeply revered and respected in our Polynesian culture,” said Dwayne Johnson.
This year, they are airing 25 original programs starting on July 24th at 8p.
